If Donald Trump is only willing to be President of the Republican states, we should be have one too.

I nominate Dan Rather, or John Kerry, or Howard Dean, or Kamala Harris, or Corey Booker, or Ted Lieu, or Bill Moyers.

The man clearly couldn't give a rat's ass about anyone in a blue state. He is unfit in a thousand ways. I'd call him a reptile but reptiles are so much more than him.

0. Californians wonder why Trump isnt tweeting about the fatal wildfires
View profile
“Where’s the president?” asks the editorial board of the San Fransisco Chronicle, as California burns.

Well, it knows where President Trump literally is: the White House usually, if not one of his resorts.

The newspaper board means where is he on Twitter — or as the board says, “How many times has Trump tweeted about the fires since they were whipped by winds into life-threatening force early Monday: zero.”

Zero, true, as of early Sunday evening. As the Chronicle notes, Trump did speak once, offline, about the fires. A few days ago, he promised to “stand with” Californians and said he’s in touch with the governor — and then welcomed the Pittsburgh Penguins to the White House and turned to other matters.

But the death toll in California has doubled to 41 since then, thousands of homes and millions of acres have been burned — and “one voice has been conspicuously mute,” the Chronicle wrote.

Sadly there are a thousand more.

Their policies have been nothing but destructive and divisive, and now we have a dangerous mad man hell bent on starting a war for ratings in the White House, and a new generation of Nazis and white supremacists. They all have to go.

California, he is a sick man who feels slighted that not everyone loves him and admires him. He lost big time in California, he is like a child who likes to take revenge on people.

Just finished watching Duty to Warn, please watch if able. It was posted here also you can watch on You Tube.

We are in treacherous waters now.

We don't need to change that duty just to accommodate someone who is anathema to everything our Constitution stands for.

Thump is unfit for office, he wants the title, but not the responsibility it entails. Don't let him win by dragging us down to his level to act just like him. We are better than he is, we have to be.
